Thanks for the response. I'll definitely give it a proper look and try out self hosting. It's actually quite nice that you have a "Budibase DB" option which might come in really handy compared with OpenBlocks. And yeah,

Some feedback, as you asked for it and I signed up for both OpenBlocks and Budibase cloud versions today to try them out: (NB: If I like either or both of them I’ll self host, as I have no interest in SaaS, indeed it’s what’s stopped me fro

Madoff was absolutely working with and connected to regulators [0] in various capacities. The idea that the current regulatory framework really helps consumers or effectively polices the truly bad actors is unfortunately far from the truth.

Unsurprising. Ads and user data are a bubble.

All of these companies and many more have too many people. They have never lived through a period of stagnation or decline. Investment banks and many other industries were that way once. It’s not new. This doesn’t mean Twitter is about to d

I have seen investment banks disable all logins for a whole division or trading floor, invite the people they aren’t firing to an all hands / town hall meeting to tell them as much, then announce to everyone else on the floor that they

Tesla doesn't show drivers ads. I hate their data collection and the fact you rent rather than own aspects (all?) of their cars, and the T&Cs (I hate them so much I wouldn't buy a Tesla, in fact), but I think ads are worse. (P

No idea if it’ll turn out to be just a corporate raid but I’ve become so disillusioned and disgusted with nearly everything about companies like Twitter, Google, and Meta that I do not think a realistic solution exists for the problems they

The problem is when any of the features the enterprise wants to / can buy is closed source and not available on the same terms as the rest of the project.

Even if it was a way to sell crypto coins and fund development (presumably while also giving backers some visibility and say on the project’s governance), how is that worse than making part of the project closed source and paid for?

I’d rather see funding come from a crypto token that keeps the software completely open source than enterprise sales, aid hosted versions, and going “open core”. I don’t understand how anyone believes that the current trend of so called “op

Businesses need outcomes, for humans “I can’t see the point but I like it” feels optimal to me.

I have had and have many friends who have had similar horror stories from holiday apartments and even B&Bs and hotels, as well as Airbnbs rentals. There’s a pretty simple correlation most of the time: the cheaper the accommodation compa

I’d love to see browser become true “user agents” — working on behalf of users. I’d love them to block, ignore, combine, reformat or whatever the data spewed out by a server to provide the best possible view of the site for the users need.

The problem is ads per se. I’d like to live in a world without them, thanks.

Most of the best VR experiences I've had were either uncomfortable to me to begin with, or are uncomfortable to many first time and casual users, judging from reviews. If there was a virtual ski resort and I could feel like the air aro

This reads to me like criticising ski resorts because some people don’t like the cold and are afraid of heights.

If I access your API I’m using your server because you offer it publicly. That is not abuse. The distinction is about whether you should be able to offer something publicly, taking advantage of public infrastructure to do so, and then make

I don’t see any reason that fair use limits or blocking interactions that behave like attacks should be incompatible with allowing and not penalising the use of third party clients.

They also bought (and ruined) MindAlign which had originally been developed and spun off from UBS investment bank and was light years ahead of its time. What they turned it into / replaced it with was such a depressing step backwards.
